Materials:
Here are some pics...I used the elastoseal to fasten the cases to the base and will coat it with my glue and sand mixture once dried. I will of course add more details to this base later...but I think it looks good so far...
Mounting the cd cases with the gray sealant...
Again I will add more details like wires and such and will battle damage the base later...thanks for viewing! : )
UPDATE 12-21-09: added more tubes, wires and extra parts to the base...
Hello guys, I added more tubes/sticks to cover the disks and add more depth to the base...I also added some wires to make it look more busy. I will strip some of the insulation of the wires to expose the smaller wires...and make it look more detailed...here are some pics...
yesterday the base looks like this...
now, it's busier after I added more sticks and other parts from my stash...
After adding the sticks, I added some wires...again, I will strip a few of the wires of it's insulation...thus exposing more and smaller wires later...
Now, after adding the wires...I mixed my usual sand and glue mixture and applied it throughout the base, I specially applied some over the joints and the inserted wires. Once dried, the construction will be a lot more solid and strong, due to the glue that hardens like rock ( weighs like rock also ) when dried...I will be putting small gun holes throughout the base and melt the edges with my soldering iron later, then will be off to painting...btw, the sand mixture will be painted rust thus justifying the rough texture at the edges and joints of the base...

What kind of rod/stick did you use to hold up the Zeta gundam. Thanks
It's a copper / brass rod I got from my dad's workshop bro. :)
Just another question, did you drill a hole in the gundam to put the rod in? Thanks.
Did you drill a hole in the gundam. Thanks.
Yes bro I just drilled a hole underneath the crotch of the Zeta, it is in one of the wips. :)
Yes. :)
DC23, where do you get the sand for your sand glue mixture and is there a fixed ratio for it? thanks!
